Immediately after procedure you might notice a whiter halo around the brow from the numbing cream.
You may experience the following symptoms for about 4 days.
- Minor swelling and redness -You may use an ice pack with a clean barrier between the skin and ice pack.
- Mild tenderness
- Itchiness in the eyebrow area
- Dry flaking skin
These symptoms are normal part of the healing process.
Remember, your selected color will be much darker and bolder and more sharply defined for 10-14 days after procedure, but as healing process occurs the color will soften and lighten.
In the first few days, you’ll develop a scab. Some people scab in light flakes and some develop a thick scab. Your scabs should naturally flake off in about 14 days. Every body is different, but whatever you do, do NOT pick at the scabs and make sure you read through and follow the AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS properly to obtain the best results.
If the scabbing phase is not over by 14 days, please continue your Aftercare instructions until scabs are completely gone.
After the scabbing phase is over, you will see that the color of your pigment appears foggy and muted in color because a layer of skin has grown over the pigment to seal it in. Not to worry, over the next several weeks your skin will regenerate and the pigment will be more vibrant in color. The complete healing process takes at least 4 weeks which is when the true orientation of the pigment will show.
Your brows will take 10 days to heal. During that week, it is encouraged you to let them naturally exfoliate off. This means keeping them out of water, sweat, steam, etc. Once the scabbing phase passes, the brows will appear lighter, and their true color should come out after 4 weeks. As long as you’re good at following aftercare instructions, there shouldn’t be a problem going to work or being out in public.
